This is nothing more than optics. There's no treatment for non addictive drug abuse.

Sure there is. Therapy and reflection can help you change your behavior in a lot of ways. Removing a harmful behavior that could cost him millions of dollars in potential earnings, is a decent incentive.

Don't kid yourself. The substance may not be physically addictive, but people get hooked on getting high for various reasons all the time.

here's the treatment program:
1 you will sit out the tournament.
2 you will be randomly drug tested whenever the coaches decide.
3 you will run stairs until the coach throws up.
4 if you don't like the above, fill out McDonald's app.

and steps 2-3 are until you 'graduate'

I'm guessing it's a basic treatment program most likely mandated by his probation violation..

You don't have to "treat" addictions with drugs my man...

At least I assume that's what you're talking about, trading one addiction for another, like in the case of the standard way of dealing with opiate addiction...

That's just a self-control issue. He really, really likes getting high because it feels good and he can't control himself. No different than not being able to stop from eating a gallon of ice cream a day because it tastes good and makes you feel good.

I'm no doctor, but I don't think a "rehab" program is really going to help him because there is no chemical/physical dependency. It isn't like he's smoking crack or shooting heroin.

He's a high level football player. I guarantee you that no one has ever said 'no' to him his entire life.

Lol. He cannot control himself because he is addicted. Its not that difficult to understand. Trying to further the myth that weed is not addictive is silly.

The problem is self control. Lack of self control does not equal addiction. Addiction causes you to get sick when you're not using. Lack of self control causes you to make dumb decisions.

Trust me, I know. I was on probation for a year. I had good self control, so I didn't smoke the entire time, and guess what, I didn't even sick when I stopped using.

You can get addicted to the high... you're not going to have physical withdrawal symptoms, but technically it can be considered a physical addiction... the endocannabinoid system is activated everytime you smoke and that sensation of being high can be addicting... not sure why this is so hard for some of you to understand, nor why addiction has to be black and white with some of you. Addiction takes many forms.

You experience no physical withdrawal symptoms from quitting. Not sure why that's hard for you to understand

You're confusing the point... When the THC hits your cannabinoid receptors, it has a physical effect... one could easily argue that cannabis high is addicting, therefore... it's a "physical" addiction... you can still crave that high years after going sober, but because you don't have physical withdrawal symptoms it's not a real addiction?... Sorry I don't subscribe to that.

People who only accept drugs with withdrawal symptoms as being real addictions are narrow-minded. They are typically the same ones who claim weed, alcohol, etc are not real addictions because it's a self-control issue. Thing is that same logic can be applied to the harder drugs with withdrawal symptoms whether they like it or not.

I think Ive said enough. At some point the conversation just regresses and becomes very redundant... :thumbsup:
